Stop the prosecution of ibogaine provider Sara Glatt! Sign the petition!!!

Migrated topic.
Signed...
And spreading the link to others

She is far from the amount of signatures she needs and I truly hope this changes soon.

sending out many prayers for her and her family

And thank you for posting this link here.
 
Petition signed. I really hope everything works out good for her. I really hate seeing people so undeserving of punishment subjected harsh treatment from legal facilities.

I have very mixed feelings about this petition. Even though this woman might have a long track record of helping hundreds of people cure their addiction, she's responsible for the death of some one who trusted to be safe with her.
The problem as I understood it, is that the man refused to stay at the place where he was being treated.

It is illegal to deprive a person of their liberty, hence you are not allowed to lock a person in your home, not even while on an Iboga treatment. If this person wanted to leave, the only thing she could have done is talking to him and hoping that he would stay.

In the end he did not stay and that was his (unfortunate) right.


What this shows is not that we should presecute this woman, but that we should have better clinics where people CAN be locked (with previously signed conscent) while being treated.


Kind regards,

EXACTLY!!!!

Can you link me to some of this information, so I can be a more informed choice to sign?

Thanks.
 
Personally I have had no interaction with Iboga, but from what I gather its rather interesting the report individuals who have broken free out of habit loops with not just substances. So it shouldn't be cast to the exotic dudgeon of freakish chemicals deemed to impractical for populous use. Regardless life has been lost, but lets take this as opportunity for public cause, real exploratory work needs to happen away, far far away distraction. Although she had a facility to keep immediate distractions away, for those chronically locked it is a matter of freeing them which this does excessively well. More important is where you have the individual who "wants" to break free, where you free them to. Nature shows methods as long as you want to try them, in testing you can learn to flex process. So use knowledgeable populous in Iboga to to help state where this tool shall be guided through society to help keep safety and sanity harmonically on par.

How?

If this work was held in a "remote" location, then distance holds buffering time and space from the on going commotion, Shamans ideal in these areas. Bummer that high population density throws lots of problems when maintaining healthy barrier for most. When public eye shifts for more known locations available for "pure" mental work to take place with other species by consumption in embracing environments, then and only then we can make real head way with working well together, all together :3.
 
Kind of sad that this thread has more than triple the amount of views than there are signatures on the actual petition. For those who are not reading the article (basing this off of some comments), the woman was not imprisoned because the treatment using iboga was illegal, but because of the circumstances involving a patient who violently demanded to leave the medical supervision after the administration of ibogaine.

So, it's not like you are indicting yourself by signing this petition. Men in black suits are not going to be knocking on your door because you stood behind something you believe in.
 
This is my first post (because I don't think I have anything useful to share yet), so here's my first grain of sand...

Every time anyone views a thread, it adds one view, so it's kind of hard to extrapolate that people are reading the thread and not signing.

Out of curiosity...what does signing this petition do, legally? Afaik, change.org petitions are good for publicity about an issue, but little else. I'm not saying that people shouldn't sign it...I just think that if people feel that this specific event and this kind of stuff in general need to be stopped, signing such a petition is perhaps the smallest possible step that one can take.
